Crossfire question

[nlel1975]

I have an Xpertvision 8800GT 512mb and am getting the P5Q Pro motherboard, do I need another Xpertvision 8800GT to run 2 cards and what is better a single 4870 or 2x 8800gt

i thought the p5q board was a p45 chipset...if so...i dont think you can run 2 nvidia cards...needs to be radeon cards for crossfire i reckon...sure someone will put me right on that if i am wrong

I don't want to run crossfire, I used the incorrect term, I meant sli you can run SLI on nvidia chipsets I think.

you cant run sli on a crossfire board...you need a nvidia chipset board to run sli....if you are set on buying that board...i would say 1x 4870 would be better option

Sorry I meant intel chipset boards....

you cant run sli on a intel board either ...i dont think it supports sli....just crossfire

ok scrap that idea, I`ll stick to the single card.
